Hamilton v. Savannah Chatham Metropolitan Police Dept

United States District Court, S.D. Georgia, (Savannah Division)
Feb 3, 2011
Case No. 4:10-cv-285 (S.D. Ga. Feb. 3, 2011)

Opinion

Case No. 4:10-cv-285.

February 3, 2011


ORDER


After a careful de novo review of the record in this case, the Court concurs with the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation, to which objections have been filed.

The Court observes, after a reading of the record, that the claimant used sick leave in excess of the generous amount provided, and that she was reviewed as being tardy in coming to work and for other work rule violations. Many football coaches observe that the best defense in a good offense, and so may it be in this instance. The isolated bantering of a supervisor brought down a torrent of alleged wounded feelings, humiliation, and discrimination that large sums of money were needed to make full recompense, but the claimant's pass (and claim) is ruled "out of bounds." Time to punt.

Accordingly, the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge is adopted as the opinion of the Court.

SO ORDERED this 3rd day of February, 2011.
